"HOW DARE HE HURT MY BABY!!!!!" Roared Videl as she looked down on the
stage and struggled while being held back by a more in control Gohan. Even
though he wanted to go beat up the man who hurt his daughter too.
"THAT SON OF A %$#^*!!!" echoed Chichi as she thrashed about like a wildcat in Gohan's other arm.
What has had them so upset was the defeat of Pan-chan by the new comer Ranma. The gathered people, Gohan, Videl, Chi-chi, Krillan and his family, Yamcha, Puar, Roshi, Oolong, Piccolo and Bulma as well as her daughter Bra were in a luxury suite watching the tournament.
They were so distracted by Videl and Chi-chi that the match between Captain Chicken and Kiraano went completely unnoticed. But when Kilroy (an alias adopted by the Krillan from Ranma's DBZ universe) and Goten stepped into the ring something caused the local Krillan to look out at the ring. He frowned as he tried to get a sense on the unknown fighter; all he knew was that he was very familiar for some reason and he couldn't tell how.
In an absentminded way Krillan leaned over to Piccolo and asked him, "That Kilroy guy looks familiar, doesn't he? Do you think he could be the one Goku was talking about?"
The Nameken warrior frowned and concentrated on the fighters just taking up their beginning stances, "I don't know, it could be, something is familiar about him that's for sure," he said in his typical grumbling voice.
And as he said this Kilroy's power shot up, rocketing higher and higher until it reached the level that Vegeta had on Namek. Everyone who could sense it was in shocked that a human could be that strong, especially one they didn't know.
This distraction proved costly as it allowed Videl and Chi-chi to wiggle free of Gohan's grasp and run off toward the fighter's waiting room for their retribution.
"Crap," Gohan muttered and ran after the two women, "I better go with them, keep an eye on Goten everyone."

Chapter 10
Ranma & Ifurita's Excellent Adventure Special
Or
Things Heat Up
*************************
Flashback to when Goten and Krillan entered the ring
An over confident Goten sauntered onto the ring believing his victory was assured.
The only words exchanged were an vague comment by Kilroy (Krillan), "you should take me seriously; I have a lot of experience fighting stronger opponents. Fighting a Daxamite (1) regularly can help in these kinds of situations, ya know?" he said with a smirk. With that he powered up quickly and blurred from view. Goten was taken off guard and winced as he felt a fist imbedded in his gut.
A quick spin kick by the shorter man to Goten's head sent him flying across the ring and just as he started to get up a reverse axe kick to the chin sent him soaring into the air.
Kilroy blurred once more to appear over Goten high in the sky and deliver a dual over-hand blow to Goten's back, sending him down into the ground resulting in an explosion of concrete and mortar.
Floating back down slowly, Kilroy smirked as dust filled the air and he waited for Goten to emerge.
*************************
Up in the viewing gallery the watchers stand stupefied, the older noseless Krillan was the only one to speak muttering "How, how, how" in his shock.
Piccolo grunted, "It isn't over, look" and nodded to the clearing dust cloud, as a figure began to stir.
*************************
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Goten yelled as he powered up to just under super sayian, the waves of power blowing the floating debris from his crash away. Goten blurred and attacked Kilroy, who bent and twisted, dodging the hammer blows the younger man was so intent on delivering.
The heretofore-unseen style was an acrobatic display unlike any fighting style Goten had ever fought against. (2) The style seemed to blend numerous different styles giving even a weaker opponent counters and maneuvers to avoid Goten's attacks.
And after several minutes of this Goten was getting very tired, his endurance not being up to snuff after years of not doing anything more strenuous than trying to get a date for Saturday night.
Goten decided to power up once more, annoyed at his adversary dancing around the attacks. He speed up and gave the shorter man a glancing blow that sent him flying. Kilroy recovered quickly though, just in time to avoid a follow up kick to the ribs.
While the teen was off balance Kilroy countered the hit with a judo toss over to the other side of the ring, he quickly followed it with a small Ki blast that hit his opponent in the back, scorching his gi.
*************************
Meanwhile in the waiting room, Ranma was leaning against the doorway watching the fight with a blank expression. While the Z-senshi (all but Vegeta that is because he just didn't care) couldn't believe how badly Goten was doing.
Then with a smile Ranma muttered, "He's got him."
Trunks heard this and asked, "What do you mean? Goten wasn't really hurt by that."
"Watch your friend . . . look at him. He hasn't trained seriously in while has he?" Ranma pointed out, and then he nodded at Goten, "look closely at him."
Trunks turned around and looked at his friend, trying to see what was being pointed out to him. They watched Goten and the native fighters wondered what Ranma was saying. Studying the teen fighter, Goku is the first one to see it as his son tries to hit the shorter man; Goku frowned as he saw how tired Goten was. Then with a frown Goku looked at Ranma, "Even as tired as he is that still won't be enough to take him out."
Smirking Ranma replied, "Watch, Kilroy isn't finished yet either."
*************************
After several minutes of Kilroy dodging, Goten had to stop to catch his breath. Panting, he stood there and eyed Kilroy with confusion. Kilroy smirked, relaxed slightly and inquired of the fatigued young man, "finished?"
At Goten's angry growl and his motion to charge once more, Kilroy held up his hand and in a sing-song way called out, "Na-uh, my turn."
Then with a wide legged stance and with his hands held out at his side, two glowing disks appeared vertically in each hand. Each one was about 3 feet across and with a growl Kilroy flung his hands forward. The disks blazed forward, cutting a furrow in the concrete of the ring.
With a curse Goten jumped back to dodge but the two disks tracked him, following closely as he franticly jumped about. Meanwhile Kilroy jumped in and out, landing blows on Goten as he tried to dodge the energy disks.
Finally pissed off, Goten hunched down gathering strength and let a couple of blows land before he let loose with a roar of power that filled the air. The powerful wave of energy threw the shorter man back across the ring and dissipated the energy disks.
When Kilroy looked over at the teen, he saw that his younger opponent had gone super sayia-jin. He stood there, power billowing about him, but even though he was super now, he was also panting and obviously tired.
Not giving him a chance to attack, the short man let loose another pair of buzz saw blades that twisted and turned on a dime, responding to Kilroy's will as they kept Goten off balance and away from the human fighter.
But now in super form Goten easily avoided the large blades before blowing them away. With a smirk on his face Kilroy nodded, "Pretty good, but not good enough. You see, as the fight has gone on, you've worn yourself out. If you'd gone super at the start, you might have ended it quickly. But 'cause you waited 'til you were already exhausted that carried over."
Then, as understanding came to Goten, Kilroy nodded, "That's right you're no stronger now than you were at the start of the fight. You have noooo endurance kid."
*************************
"Brilliant!" muttered Piccolo in shock. Then with a shake of his head he continued, "But unless this Kilroy has something more, he will still lose."
*************************
Regaining a measure of self-confidence Goten laughed, "You're smart, I'll give ya that," then he smirked, "but you still don't have a chance," he said and dashed forward unleashing a brutal attack on his shorter opponent.
The attack sent Kilroy sliding across the ring but he ignored Goten's gloating and stood up saying, "You should have pressed your chance when you had it, but you had to get cocky kid."
Before Goten could attack again Kilroy let loose with his energy disk attack again. As Goten got ready to destroy them, Kilroy clenched his fists and yelled. When he unclenched his fists the disks split into several dozen silver-dollar-sized disks.
The tiny disks moved at a much faster pace than their larger counter parts as they zipped about, in and out too fast to easily destroy. Gradually they began to wear down the younger man, cutting little gashes in him as Kilroy used a hit and run strategy as he directed the blades mentally.
Then, as a coup de grace, Kilroy formed two more large disks that he had circle the area hemming Goten in as they cut big gashes in the concrete.
Hurt and angry Goten let loose another wide blast of power with a yell in a desperate attempt to get the stinging blades off his back.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Goten panted as he stood there and tried to get his breath back under control. He winced and tried to ignore the many small gashes that left him bleeding from head to toe, his gi shredded beyond recognition. The numerous wounds by themselves were not serious, but taken as a whole and combined with the low state of his strength, left him staggering and weak.
At that moment, when he was the most vulnerable, was when his human opponent struck. Kilroy roared, swinging his arms in a wide cutting motion, causing the large blades that had stayed out of range, waiting for the signal to strike to move into action.
With a whistling shriek, one of them dove straight at the concrete at Goten's feet using a sharp horizontal angle to slice the corner he was standing on, causing it to buckle under his feet.
The surface crumbling under his feet caused him to stagger and, before Goten could jump clear the second disk came spinning straight at him, forcing him to jump backwards toward the ground.
The exhausted young Sayia-jin, totally off balance, fell back in a desperate attempt to avoid getting cut in half. Flinging his hands over his eyes in a futile effort to stave off the inevitable, he didn't even realize it when he ended up lying on the grass. That is, until he realized that he was still in one piece, more or less. With a peek through his fingers he blanched when he saw the second disk floating an inch from his face. Kilroy floated above and behind the blade smirking as, in the background, the announcer timidly yelled out that Kilroy was the winner.
"GOTEN!" the gathered friends and fighters called out as the Z-senshi rushed to the defeated teen.
*************************
At the same time Videl and Chi-Chi burst into the waiting area, having been held up by Gohan's efforts and having to knock out the man guarding the waiting room when he wouldn't let them in.
"WHERE IS HE!!!!?" roared the two women in unison, literally dragging Gohan behind them. Spying Ranma over by the door the two women stalked up to him intent on giving him a piece of their mind. That is, until Chi-Chi saw Goten being brought in by Goku.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BABY!!!!!" roared the distraught woman as she dashed to the cut and bleeding teen.
"He's okay, it looks worse than it is, he just needs to rest and have all these little cuts cleaned," Goku said hurriedly, trying to calm her down. It worked . . . for a moment. Then with fire in her eyes, literally it seemed, she turned on the other fighters and growled gutturally, "WHO DID THIS!?"
As one everyone stepped away from her, except Videl who was still berating Ranma poking him in the chest with her finger.
In reply to her question they all pointed at Kilroy as he walked inside. "YOU," she stated with malice before pulling her frying pan out from nowhere.
"Uhm?" asked Kilroy, confused since he missed her entrance. Nervous, he stepped away from her as she stalked forward.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!" Chi-chi screamed as she ran for him making him freak out and run for it. And so, the gathered fans were treated to an unusual sight - that of the victor of the most recent round being chased around the ring by a woman with a frying pan.
While this was going on, Videl finished her tirade and had gone over to dote on the still sleeping Pan-chan. Ranma was not going to let this go unanswered though and fired back to her, "If she isn't ready for the Budokai then she shouldn't be allowed to compete. You're lucky I'm such a nice a guy and only made her fall asleep. What if someone really bad had been in the tournament?"
A glare from the woman was her only reply as she and Gohan looked after their daughter.
After making sure that his daughter was fine, Gohan went to check on his little brother. He tried to ignore Vegeta laughing heartily at, as he put it, "Brat number two loosing to such a weak human."
An eerie quiet developed as the ring was being fixed when the various Z- senshi had tried to get Kilroy to talk, after he got back from being chased by Chi-Chi, and he wouldn't say anything to them.
Once the ring was fixed Mr. Buu's turn was up, though the Z-senshi knew that Buu would beat the big man named Kiuhatsuko Ranma wanted to see the big . . . pink . . . thing fight. With a frown he watched the so-called fight as his Krillan came up to him to see as well. Mr. Buu won with hardly any effort and returned to the waiting room to eat the cakes he had waiting.
With a thoughtful frown Ranma watched Mr. Buu as Vegeta had his match with the pretty boy he had to fight. Though "fight" would be too strong a word "severe beating" would be a better way to put it. Seeing this, Trunks's opponent Otokosuki ran away, though Ranma's next opponent Kiraano decided to stick it out for another round because Ranma didn't look like a strong adversary.
With no one to face him, Trunks won his match by default so Goku finally had his match against Uub. When Goku went to the ring Vegeta frowned as he could tell that the other Saiya-jin was excited about this, and he couldn't understand the reason for that.
'This kid isn't anything special, what's going on?' his friends wondered since everyone thought that Kilroy guy was the one that Goku was waiting for.
Ranma eavesdropped on them as they discussed Goku's claim of a human as strong as a saiya-jin and, no matter what the reason for it, it made a big grin light up his face.
*************************
The match between Goku and Uub went generally as in the series; Goku provoked Uub into getting angry so that he would fight better. Uub's power grew and grew as he matched Goku blow for blow, and until Goku flew into the air he was keeping up with him.
That's when Goku offered to train him and apologized for saying bad things to him. Goku flew up to the seats to say goodbye to his friends and family, just like in the series and he still hadn't landed.
In fact there was nothing much that was very different, that is up until Goku went to land and the awaked Pan-chan raced out crying for him not to leave. It was in this moment that Ranma stepped through the door of the waiting room and roared, "STOP! Don't you dare land."
"Huh?" Goku asked in confusion, still floating off the ground. His confusion turned to out right shock as Ranma's male form morphed into that of his female body and as she stalked up to him she fumed with feminine rage.
"WE HAVE TO TALK YOUNG MAN!"

End Notes:
Sorry this took so long, I haven't been idle though I did another part of my Highlander / Ranma fic "Secret Truths." And I completed the first volume of my multi-volume Stargate Sg-1 fic "Beneath the Surface of the Mind." I got so many reviews for my Sg-1 fic I was inspired to keep writing. Hint, Hint.
Let me know what you think of this story please?
Also a special thanks to my pre readers Skunktrain and Taurock for all of their good ideas and work.
Also the lesser-known characters in the last Budokai
Kiuhatsuko – he was Pan-chan's opponent in the original story
Captain Chicken and Kiraano – were the ones who ran off after seeing Goku Vs, Uub
Otokosuki – was the leather clad guy facing Trunks originally
Noshiku – was Vegeta's original opponent the pretty boy all the girls in the stands loved
Ranma and Krillan's entrance into the tournament led to different results in the drawing of who fought whom. And something happened that altered the brackets as well.
Footnotes:
(1) Daxamite – a race of humanoid beings from the DC Comics universe with powers like that of Superman.
(2) (A.N. Anything goes martial arts)
Also some replies to reviews,
Dsywnne – in the first budokai back in Dragonball Krillan faced an opponent who was very stinky and he beat him because he didn't have a nose so he wasn't affected by the stink.
And a run down on the pairings in the Budokai,
Round one
Ranma Vs. Pan-chan
Captain Chicken Vs. Kiraano
Kilroy Vs. Goten
Mr. Buu Vs. Kiuhatsuko
Vegeta Vs. Noshiku
Trunks Vs. Otokosuki
Goku Vs. Uub
Round Two
Ranma Vs Kiraano
Kilroy Vs. Mr. Buu
Trunks Vs. Vegeta
Goku gets a bye
Later,
Signed: Verse12
"THAT SON OF A %$#^*!!!" echoed Chichi as she thrashed about like a wildcat in Gohan's other arm.
What has had them so upset was the defeat of Pan-chan by the new comer Ranma. The gathered people, Gohan, Videl, Chi-chi, Krillan and his family, Yamcha, Puar, Roshi, Oolong, Piccolo and Bulma as well as her daughter Bra were in a luxury suite watching the tournament.

But when Kilroy (an alias adopted by the Krillan from Ranma's DBZ universe) and Goten stepped into the ring something caused the local Krillan to look out at the ring. He frowned as he tried to get a sense on the unknown fighter; all he knew was that he was very familiar for some reason and he couldn't tell how.
In an absentminded way Krillan leaned over to Piccolo and asked him, "That Kilroy guy looks familiar, doesn't he? Do you think he could be the one Goku was talking about?"
The Nameken warrior frowned and concentrated on the fighters just taking up their beginning stances, "I don't know, it could be, something is familiar about him that's for sure," he said in his typical grumbling voice.
And as he said this Kilroy's power shot up, rocketing higher and higher until it reached the level that Vegeta had on Namek. Everyone who could sense it was in shocked that a human could be that strong, especially one they didn't know.

"Huh?" Goku asked in confusion, still floating off the ground. His confusion turned to out right shock as Ranma's male form morphed into that of his female body and as she stalked up to him she fumed with feminine rage.
"WE HAVE TO TALK YOUNG MAN!"

End Notes:
Sorry this took so long, I haven't been idle though I did another part of my Highlander / Ranma fic "Secret Truths." And I completed the first volume of my multi-volume Stargate Sg-1 fic "Beneath the Surface of the Mind." I got so many reviews for my Sg-1 fic I was inspired to keep writing. Hint, Hint.
Let me know what you think of this story please?
Also a special thanks to my pre readers Skunktrain and Taurock for all of their good ideas and work.
Also the lesser-known characters in the last Budokai
Kiuhatsuko – he was Pan-chan's opponent in the original story
Captain Chicken and Kiraano – were the ones who ran off after seeing Goku Vs, Uub
Otokosuki – was the leather clad guy facing Trunks originally
Noshiku – was Vegeta's original opponent the pretty boy all the girls in the stands loved
Ranma and Krillan's entrance into the tournament led to different results in the drawing of who fought whom. And something happened that altered the brackets as well.
Footnotes:
(1) Daxamite – a race of humanoid beings from the DC Comics universe with powers like that of Superman.
(2) (A.N. Anything goes martial arts)
Also some replies to reviews,
Dsywnne – in the first budokai back in Dragonball Krillan faced an opponent who was very stinky and he beat him because he didn't have a nose so he wasn't affected by the stink.
And a run down on the pairings in the Budokai,
Round one
Ranma Vs. Pan-chan
Captain Chicken Vs. Kiraano
Kilroy Vs. Goten
Mr. Buu Vs. Kiuhatsuko
Vegeta Vs. Noshiku
Trunks Vs. Otokosuki
Goku Vs. Uub
Round Two
Ranma Vs Kiraano
Kilroy Vs. Mr. Buu
Trunks Vs. Vegeta
Goku gets a bye
Later,
